Document M (Doc M) of the building regulations provides guidance to ensure buildings are accessible to disabled individuals, making washroom facilities suitable for all users, regardless of the building’s function.
In conjunction with the Equality Act (2010), which mandates that businesses offering public services must ensure disabled people are not at a disadvantage when accessing premises, Doc M ensures "access for all." This includes providing accessible washroom facilities that meet specific standards.
For visually impaired users, there should be a 30-point LRV (Light Reflectance Value) difference between critical surfaces in washrooms - typically between walls, floors, grab rails, and sanitaryware to support safe navigation. BS 8300-2:2018 also outlines the necessary size, layout, and fittings for disabled users, ensuring compliance with accessibility standards.
Our Doc M solutions are designed to provide full compliance while delivering a safe, practical, and modern accessible washroom. Each pack includes essential components such as toilets and seats, cisterns, hand-rinse wash basins, mixer taps and appropriately placed grab rails, ensuring both functionality and comfort.
